This reading and writing thing is delighting me daily. It has taken forever to get to this point. I was not previously aware that reading is a milestone akin to potty training, or sleeping through the night. It takes way longer than you think it will, progress comes in the tiniest of increments (and waxes and wanes daily), various experts are always ready with a quick-fix solution whether or not you need it, and you might feel compelled to exaggerate your child's progress.
Yesterday Jo was busily writing one of her random letters to no one. I reminded her that we promised to send Tacy a postcard. Without missing a beat she took another piece of paper, neatly wrote NOT NOW, and continued with what she was doing.
The postcard was worth the wait, though. She composed it tonight.

Happy whore...you just got my Friday off to a hilarious start! Snort!!!!
Love her postcard. That is so cute.
Oh, Miss C is still not reading chapter books dammit unlike some of her peers apparently. What's WRONG with her?!? ;)
That's too funny.
It's so cool to see them learning to sound out words on their own. My daughter is at this stage too!
That's very cool and exciting! I don't want to wish their wee years away, but I am very excited for the days when they are writing and we can read chapter books together.
Fabulous postcard!
What a great postcard! I like that she put she's from WI.
So great. Next time, pretty please, scan it in?
Happy Whore! I love kids, they are so cute at that age. Then they get older,UGH. Thanks for sharing the postcard.
Awesome. Q pretends to write me notes all the time now. I get these pieces of paper with little squiggles on them.
Those damn happy whores are everywhere, plying us with half-price well drinks.
I'm going to have to ask Tacy's teacher if we can keep those postcards and letters. Jo's is priceless.
